CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)- Total Quality Logistics (TQL) will bring one of the newest crazes in running to the city of Cincinnati this October with its first annual TQL Urban Race.

An urban race is an obstacle-style run that aims to test runners' strength and stamina, as well as their speed. It is held on city streets and provides dozens of grueling hurdles to challenge competitors' physical limits.

"TQL Urban Race will reflect, in many ways, the culture of our company – competitive, challenging, daring, but ultimately very rewarding for those who are willing to put in the hard work," said Jeff Montelisciani, TQL senior vice president of sales.
